Hi, Thanks for the offer. I'll try Sarah's suggestion first, but would love an experienced person's determination if there are or are not page breaks. Once I know that, I'd be happy to do the rest of the job of validating myself. Would you be willing to work with me just about the page break question off list. I would rather give you the name of the book off list. If it was a book I'd worked on, I wouldn't want the whole list to know I'd been returnnewed and donedone and all of that, hahahaha Thanks, Always With Love, airadil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Lissi ----- Original Message ----- From: Silvara To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 5:26 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: A question about page breaks Hi Lissi: What is the title of the book on download page? I can check it out for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Estelnalissi To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 3:11 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: A question about page breaks Dear Natalie, Like you, I check each page break manually with the arrow keys. I'm not only checking that the break is there, but also verifying that the spacing for the page number if it's at the top of the page has a blank line above and below it. I mostly use the arrow anyway so I won't miss some little detail that could use fixing. Since I'm not validating for the fifty cents, I'm one of those volunteers who wants the book to be squeaky clean when I submit it. It's both a challenge and matter of pride. You know, I'm actually not positive about what I'm doing. One way I conclude there's a page break is that jaws says a page number in a lower voice which isn't always the number before the actual number on the page that follows. Those low voiced numbers can be as many as ten pages different from the book's numbering. I wind up keeping track of both, figuring neither should have skipped numbers. Keep asking questions, Natalie. I learn from them too though I didn't understand Gerald's answer to your question about soft page breaks. I think it doesn't matter if I get the difference between soft and hard breaks since I just use that arrow and seem to find them....I hope!

I guess what I was looking for was a way to be able to detect a page break while reading with the insert two for say all so I didn't have to arrow line by line, but I guess I will just have to arrow to find the page breaks and just a bit slower in my reading. That's fine though, and thanks for your help.

HPg means hard page break and occurs because Word Perfect encounters a Page Break character. If I understood you correctly, you said you were reading a book from the collection in Word Perfect. That would be why you don't see any hard page breaks in the book. I don't believe HTML and XML allow hard page breaks, therefore, the hard page breaks would be removed as part of the processing to turn the book into a DAISY book. I don't think the locations of the hard page breaks are lost, however, in the DAISY books. It's been two or three years since I read a description of the DAISY standard, but from what I remember, my impression was that the information is recorded in one of the additional files that are included with the XML file in the DAISY books along with other navigation information like the location of specific pages and chapters. Try using Reveal Codes on a book downloaded from the Step 1 page, either a new book or one you worked on in the past. You can also try adding a hard page break to a file then looking at it with Reveal Codes turned on. It seems like you insert one using Ctrl-Enter like Word, K-1000, and OpenBook, but I could be getting it confused with those software packages, so you might try Shift-Enter or just looking up the proper key combination in the Help information.

I know this is probably going to be a stupid question, but can anyone tell me how to find page breaks when using Word Perfect? I'm using wq11 and Jaws 6.0 and have been unsuccessful in finding them. I tried reading with reveal codes and could only find spg which I'm assuming means a soft page break. I guess I'm confused because I'm currently reading a book I downloaded from the colection because I was trying to test the reveal codes thing before I got a another book to validate, and I only found soft page breaks in the book. Or at least, I'm assuming that's what spg means. Anyway, I was just curious so thought I would ask.
